Registration

Cyberspace is fundamental to our national prosperity, as it is critical to commerce, research,
education, and government. Realizing the benefits of this shared environment requires that we
are able to properly balance the risks and rewards, understand and communicate threats to
security and privacy, and rapidly adapt any resulting approach to a changing adversarial
environment.

The 13th annual Cyber and Information Security Conference (CISRC) at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, will bring together cyber security researchers from
academia, industry, and the national laboratories with program managers, security vendors, and
practitioners to discuss the many challenges and to propose novel solutions pertaining to cyber
security.

Research Themes

Research papers describing novel contributions in any area of cyber and information security
are solicited. Papers may present techniques, applications, practical experience, theory,
analysis, or experiments and evaluations. We encourage the submission of papers on
technologies and methods that promise to improve cyber security practices, including, but not
limited to, the following areas:

Cloud Security

Quantifying Risk

Operational / End­User Implications

Fusion of Heterogeneous Data

Trend Analysis & Discovery

Malware Analysis

Trust Negotiations

Policy

Data Protection

Authentication

Encryption

Software Assurance

Malware Analysis

Hardware Assurance

Reverse Engineering

Anomaly & Intrusion Detection

Machine Learning

Information Extraction

Mathematical Techniques

Human Factors

Visualization

Modeling Adversaries

Moving Target Defense

SCADA Systems

Control Theory

Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Submissions
Submissions may be full or short papers, or an abstract for a poster .

Full paper submissions should present original cyber security research. Papers should
be at most 8 pages, excluding references and acknowledgments.

Short paper submissions may showcase late-breaking results, works in progress, or
preliminary results. Short papers may be up to 4 pages in length, excluding references
and acknowledgments.

Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merit.
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are
simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.

All full and short papers will be peer-reviewed in a double-blind review process. All accepted
papers will be archived in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series, and will be
published by the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series.

Poster abstracts will be reviewed by the Poster Session Chair for inclusion. Posters and their
abstracts are not archived in the ACM digital library, but will be made available through the
conference web site.

Anonymous Submissions
All papers must be appropriately written for anonymous review. No author names or affiliations
should appear and should avoid revealing their identity in the text. Self-reference should be in
the third-person, or redacted if that is not feasible. Latex users, use
